Ava started school on August 23, its hard to believe she is already in kindergarten. On the sunday before school started, we went to a "blessing of the backpacks" at church. The girls loved that. Then monday Ava woke up and was pretty excited to be starting school. Until Anna Kate woke up that is. Anna Kate refused to tell her have a good day, hug her or anything. She DID NOT want Ava to go to school. She started crying, then Ava started crying. We thought we had it under control until we got to the school, Anna Kate was crying really LOUD "i want my aya" no aya" I know the parents in Ava's class must think we are crazy. I got a few pictures of the morning, most after the tears started. I didnt get any pictures of Ava at her desk the first day, because Anna Kate was clinging to her crying and Ava was clinging to Brannon trying to figure out why Kates was so upset. It was a VERY emotional morning. In the past 2 weeks, we have done much better, and Anna Kate actually starts her school in the morning. Ava is loving every minute of it, and comes home every day ready to tell us all about it.
(FYI - we had picked out a very cute dress and new hairbow for the first day of school, but at meet the teacher they told us that they wanted them to all wear something RED on the first day of school, and that on mondays, her class has PE and they HAVE to have on shorts/pants and tennis shoes to participate. We wore our cute dress the 2nd day of school)
